Lyrics
Ooh (Can you look at me?) Hey (Can you see my eyes?) Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Look at me... Can't you see the tears I cry for you? If you should ever leave... I’d be here with nothing left to do But to think of the days That we lived in the grace Of a love so careless and free Make the moment last, Don't relive the past, Just remember, The faith that it has taught you Got to hold on, Got to keep it strong, It’s the only thing that we can do Got to keep the love alive, Only the strong survive, It's the least that you and I can do (You gotta believe... You gotta hold on...) Keep it alive, alive Ooh Yeah, Yeah Oh oh oh Look into my eyes And see I tell no lie, My love is waiting here for you (My love is waiting for you) If you reach out for my hand, I’m sure you’ll understand How to make our dreams come true Ooh let us go

Song Production Information
NAOKI
One of my songs is a ballad called "BALLAD FOR YOU~omoi no ame~", and the acid house style "rain of sorrow" was inspired by its lyrics, which depict the world behind it.
In fact, there was a lot of trial and error in creating three different versions of this song. The version that was finally included was a simple-is-best arrangement.

It's a beautiful good song~! I have tried to make the single image of the song as nice as the beauty of the piano melody.

I like this song.
But, when I play it with more than dancing, my legs get tangled.
